All around the world last night, rubbish footballers were given a sprig of hope. Nicklas Bendtner scored a hatrick in Arsenal's 5-0 rout of Porto. While we would all have been shocked with one goal he completely knocks our armchair-pundit brains out with three!
The first came as he picked up the pieces after a collision between Arshavin, Helton and Nuno Coelho for a simple finish. 15 minutes later Arshavin was again involved as he set bendtner up for a tap in which (to everyones surprise) he converted. It was then inevitable when Arsenal were 4-0 up and were awarded a penalty that Bendtner would get the opportunity to complete his Hatrick. Oh how the cynic in me longed for him to blaze it over the bar, but alas Bendtner got his hatrick. It wasn't the prettiest of hatricks but that doesn't matter to the statistics.
Bendtner made all the headlines but the special moment of the match came from Samir Nasri who pick up the ball by the toutchline with three men around him. He proceeded to not only beat them all but seeminly beat them over and over again until he was eight yards from goal and a tight angle and fired a perfect finish in at the far post. For me this is one of the best goals you'll see this season. Just ignore the ridiculous comments made by Andy Gray in the clip.
